Runner 1 has a velocity of 10 m/s west. Runner 2 has a velocity of 7 m/s east. From the frame of reference of runner 2, what is

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

17 m/s west

Explanation:

Runner 1 has velocity = 10 m/s west

runner 2 has velocity = 7 m/s east

From the frame of reference of runner 2, we can imagine runner 2 as standing still, and runner 1 moving away from him, towards the west with their combined velocity of

velocity = 10 m/s + 7 m/s = 17 m/s west

A spaceship from a friendly, extragalactic planet flies toward Earth at 0.201 times the speed of light and shines a powerful las

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The wavelength of observed light on earth is 568.5 nm

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of spaceship $v= 0.201c$

Wavelength of laser $\lambda= 697\ nm$

We need to calculate the wavelength of observed light on earth

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda_{0}=\lambda_{e}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\dfrac{v}{c}}{1+\dfrac{v}{c}}}$

$\lambda_{0}=697\times10^{-9}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\dfrac{0.201 c}{c}}{1+\dfrac{0.201c}{c}}}$

$\lambda_{0}=697\times10^{-9}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{1-0.201}{1+0.201}}$

$\lambda=5.685\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=568.5\times10^{-9}\ m$

$\lambda=568.5\ nm$

Hence, The wavelength of observed light on earth is 568.5 nm
